Town Hall Grounds Spruced Up

For the second year in a row the crew with Landscape America spent Earth Day improving the Town property. This year, a dozen workers from the landscape firm took on the grounds around Town Hall and were joined by Brian Kiernan and a member of his team from Brian's Landscaping. "We did a spring clean up, dethatched the lawn areas, edged and mulched the beds, pruned all the shrubs and trees, planted new plant material, and created some new planting beds," said Doug McDuff, co-owner of Landscape America.

Lovell's Nursery in Medfield donated six PJM rhododendron, twelve daffodil, four flats of pansy, and twelve phlox. The Dowling Corp of Wrentham donated twenty-two yards of mulch while the landscapers were kept fed by Wrentham House of Pizza.

Landscape America is part of PLANET, Professional Landcare Network, a group that encourages members to use the occasion of Earth Day to give back to communities through volunteer landscaping, lawn care, tree care or interior projects. All involved agreed that it was a great opportunity to help the Town. "I'm here to give back to the community," said Kiernan.
